POUGY, Fernanda Guimarães  and  GRIMBERG, Angélica Bastos. Awakening for the body's alterity in the mutations of adolescence. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.3, pp. 1-11. ISSN 2359-0769.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v17i3.5764.

This paper discusses the specificity of the period of adolescence for a subject in order to situate references for a psychoanalytic understanding of this period that encompasses body changes and enigmas. This new period in the relationship of the subject with the Other has indicated that the body is always made up of an alterity which is problematic and that lacks investigation and discussion due to theoretical and clinical implications. We will situate epistemically the psychoanalytic discourse from the advent of the subject in the founding of modern science with the Cartesian cogito, demarcating its different approaches according to psychoanalysis and science. The exclusion of the body towards the extension and its return to the real of the clinic will be examined. From the Freudian Act that replaces the issue of the connection between body and mind, we will discuss the fundamental concepts of drive and unconscious, highlighting the steps taken by Lacan in the format of the concept of object a, which culminated in a design of the body as a jouissance substance, instead of the extensive substance that philosophy distinguished from the thinking substance. We intend to address the consequences of giving the body such statute, discussing the relationship of the adolescent with the satisfaction and the alterity of the body.

Keywords : adolescence; alterity; body; psychoanalysis.
